<![CDATA[SoliForum - 3D Printing Community — post frequency]]> https://www.soliforum.com/topic/14662/post-frequency/ Fri, 29 Apr 2016 14:05:46 +0000 PunBB <![CDATA[Re: post frequency]]> https://www.soliforum.com/post/121990/#p121990 I'm as active as ever, but I'm not always logged in. I have noticed a little dip on the post frequency pretty much everywhere except for the XYZ areas. I have seen quite a few users here as well as on FB who recently purchased used Solidoodles. We will see a small drive in the future to rehash old conversations we've had a billion times, but we still haven't exhausted every possible mod for the Solidoodle as mdrVB6 has recently shown in his Core XY conversion.

Personally, I've been focusing on Filastruder/Filawinder related stuff lately. That will change fairly quickly since I have way too much filament at the moment.
What to print.....

Life is short, make the most of it.  I'm rather certain the number of projects and hobbies I enjoy would make the average persons head spin. 
Therapy sounds like a good idea but who has the time tongue

^...A girlfriend or therapy would take too much of my time as well...and like wardjr, I'm pretty sure my Wife of 31 years (Anniversary Today) would agree to the girlfriend!

Congrats on your anniversary.

My wife of 37 years tells me I need therapy with all the hobbies I have.

If you need help designing things I can. I love designing things just to do it.

Heartless -

Are you looking to use openbuilds V-slot rail? You can always buy and modify their standard carriages or we could help you machine some based off our design.

Here is a link to our printer with a X and Y axis that may be similar to what you would like. There are photos of the gantry you may be interested in. Our printer is open source so you more then welcome to grab the files and modify the carriages to your needs. Everything was done in Sketchup so its really easy to edit the files.

Yes, the gantry looks very similar to what I had in my mind, but larger pics would be very useful...
I am also very interested in the CoreXY system so there would be changes needed to make that work - my brain is working overtime... tongue

the issue I am having with that idea is that I want to use the 2020 extrusions on delrin wheels for X & Y axis instead of round rod (stiffer, less flex over longer runs) but my problem is in designing carriages for the application - I am not an engineer, LOL

What we need to do is embrace the change and encourage users of other brands like the DaVinci crowd to hack and mod their machines.  That is how you get innovation and excitement to build in our community.
I can assure all of you that there are some really exciting things right around the corner.  There will be new companies bringing new innovations that change how we currently think about our hobby.  Those are the types of things that generate enthusiasm and increase traffic. 

As I look around at all the posts (yes I've read every single one) I see what appears to be a decrease in traffic.  At the same time I see a higher level of discussion.  So although we see fewer noob questions we really aren't seeing less traffic.  There is less activity in the Press section and as time goes on we will see a whole new batch of users arrive and new sections created for those brands and models.

As always Happy Printing smile
